Excerpt from Unknown Mexico, Vol. 1: A Record of Five Years' Exploration Among the Tribes of the Western Sierra Madre; In the Tierra Caliente of Tepic and Jalisco; And Among the Tarascos of Michoacan

Most Of the money required was raised by private subscription. The principal part Of the fund was, how ever, furnished by a now deceased friend Of mine, an American gentleman whose name, in deference to his wishes, I am bound to withhold. The American Mu seum Of Natural History Of New York and the Ameri can Geographical Society Of New York contributed, each, and it was arranged that I should travel under the auspices Of these two learned institutions. Many scientific societies received me most cordially.

The Government in Washington readily furnished me with the Official papers I required. The late Mr. James G. Blaine, then Secretary Of State, did everything in his power to pave my way in Mexico, even evincing a very strong personal interest in my plans.
